For centuries, philosophers have addressed the ontological question of
whether God exists. Most recently, philosophers have begun to explore
the axiological question of what value impact, if any, God's existence
has (or would have) on our world. This book brings together four
prestigious philosophers, Michael Almeida, Travis Dumsday, Perry
Hendricks and Graham Oppy, to present different views on the
axiological question about God. Each contributor expresses a position
on axiology, which is then met with responses from the remaining
contributors. This structure makes for genuine discussion and
developed exploration of the key issues at stake, and shows that the
axiological question is more complicated than it first appears.
Chapters explore a range of relevant issues, including the
relationship between Judeo-Christian theism and non-naturalist
alternatives such as pantheism, polytheism, and animism/panpsychism.
Further chapters consider the attitudes and emotions of atheists
within the theism conversation, and develop and evaluate the best
arguments for doxastic pro-theism and doxastic anti-theism. Of
interest to those working on philosophy of religion, theism and
ethics, this book presents lively accounts of an important topic in an
exciting and collaborative way, offered by renowned experts in this
area.
